Anne Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman have welcomed their first baby together

Actress Anne Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman have welcomed their first baby together - and it’s a boy, a spokesperson for the couple has confirmed.

Named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman, the tot arrived on the morning of 24th March at a hospital in Los Angeles. So no silly diva-ish celebrity baby names here, then. We knew we could rely on Anne to go with a ‘un-Hollywood’ choice, or, in other words, a lovely classic.

The couple took some time to enjoy the first few weeks with their new-born, before announcing his arrival to the world.

‘The baby is extremely healthy and is surrounded by friends and family in L.A.,’ a spokesperson for the couple told E! News. ‘Anne and Adam are ecstatic to be parents.’

Anne Hathaway's happy baby bump

Anne played her pregnancy like a pro, holding an intimate baby shower last month and making headlines in January when she posted a stunning bikini pic of herself on Instagram, while brilliantly shutting down the paparazzi.

‘So, posting a bikini pic is a little out of character for me,’ she explained to her three million followers. ‘But just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed. I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy (and be one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter :) Wishing you love, light and blessings for the year ahead!’

All this, and more, is why we love Anne Hathaway so. Huge congratulations to the new parents.
